Anatomy & Neurobiology

#178 Pancreas (Monkey – Azan Stain) 400X

Pancreatic Islet of Langerhans (with serous acini around it)

Anatomy & Neurobiology

#186 Pancreas (Rat – H&E) 40X

Pancreatic Islet of Langerhans

Serous acini surrounding the islet

#186 Pancreas and Salivary Gland (Rat) 400X

Pancreas:- Islets of Langerhans- fewer ducts- no organ capsule

Parotid Gland:- NO Islets of Langerhans- plenty of ducts- has an organ capsule
